SRINAGAR: Taking a jibe at the State Government over non-availability of electricity in a forward village near the Line of Control (LoC) in Ladakh region, Congress legislature Deldan Namgail said it is shameful that the last village in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) get uninterrupted electricity while on this side only four hours of power is supplied in 24 hours.
“Thung, which is the last village on this side of the LoC in Ladakh region get only four hours of electricity in 24 hours that too by diesel generators. And most of the time generators run out of diesel which leaves the village in complete darkness. On the contrary, the last village across the LoC has 24 hours supply of electricity,” Congress MLA from Nobra Deldan Namgail said during Question Hour in the Legislative Assembly today.
Terming the situation as shameful, he said if something was not done soon about the issue, it could leader to an embarassment for the State and the country. (AGENCIES)
